The Last One to Leave Seattle
written by Steve Norman and waylon Jennings
INTRO: C G C
C G
Me and Julie Ray got married, we were both just 16
C
Quit school and took what work we could find
G
We just got tired of working hard, wanted to change the scenes
C
So we packed our clothes and left it all behind
C G
We got off the Trailways bus in, downtown Seattle
C
I found a job drivin' a cab and I worked all night
G
While that taxi meter clicked away, I was a-losin' my Julie Ray
C
To the honky-tonkin' bright Seattle lights
CHORUS:
C G
Will the last one to leave Seattle, please turn out the lights
C
Those lights are the reason why she ain't here tonight
G
If you see her tell her, I left for home tonight
C
Will the last one to leave Seattle please turn out the lights
SOLO
C G
Seattle made Val Dolsta look like a wide place in the road
C
The brights light and the night life really turned her on
G
If those lights go out some night, I still want that girl to know
C
A light will always burn for her at home
CHORUS
C G
Will the last one to leave Seattle
C
Mmmmmm mmmm turn out the lights
Repeat C and G and fade
